Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Questionable with foot injury
Brooks (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Brooks exited the first half of Sunday's game with a foot injury. The starting weakside linebacker is the lynchpin of the Dolphins' defense and would be a massive loss to the unit. Shaka Heyward will likely fill in opposite Willie Gay while Brooks is absent.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Busy in loss
Brooks recorded 13 tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 15-10 loss at Minnesota.
Brooks' tackle total in Week 4 was his best of the season thus far, boosted in large part by his playing 78 defensive snaps, 31 of which were Vikings rush attempts. He's firmly on the IDP radar in most formats going into a Week 5 matchup versus the Bengals.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Quiet performance in Week 2
Brooks recorded three total tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 35-13 loss to San Francisco.
Brooks uncharastically quiet, registering his fewest tackles in a game since Week 17 of the 2024 campaign. The linebacker notched a career-high 183 total tackles over 17 regular-season games in 2025, and he'll likely be more busy Week 3 versus the Chiefs.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Quality effort in loss
Brooks finished with nine tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Raiders.
The Dolphins had trouble getting things going in Week 1. However, Brooks played well, finishing third on his team in total tackles behind Chris Johnson and Jacob Rodriguez. The 28-year-old is coming off a quality 2025 campaign, amassing 183 total tackles, one less than his career high of 184, adding 3.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He agreed to a three-year extension with the Dolphins in July 2026.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Back in action
Brooks (undisclosed) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Brooks is set to miss Friday's preseason finale against the Falcons but is all ready to go for Week 1 against the Raiders. The starting middle linebacker seems to have worked past his unknown injury and is being kept out for precautionary reasons.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: DNP on Friday due to injury
Brooks (undisclosed) did not play in the Dolphins' 20-7 preseason loss to the Commanders on Friday due to a "minor" injury, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
The nature of Brooks' injury isn't clear, but his absence from Friday's contest was a precautionary move. The 2020 first-rounder can be considered day-to-day, so he could be available for the Dolphins' second preseason game against the Giants on Saturday, Aug. 22. Brooks inked a three-year, $51.3 million contract extension with Miami in late July after leading the NFL with 183 total tackles (99 solo) across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Agrees to three-year extension
Brooks and the Dolphins agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year, $51.3 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Brooks led the NFL with 183 total tackles (99 solo), including 3.5 sacks, last year while playing all 17 regular-season games, and he added three passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He had been heading into the final year of his contract, but instead Brooks will remain with the Dolphins as a long-term pillar for the defense. The veteran LB has entrenched himself as a high-end fantasy asset in IDP formats, and Miami also brought in a younger player for him to mentor in the form of 2026 second-round pick Jacob Rodriguez.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Leads league in tackles
Brooks racked up a league-leading 183 tackles (99 solo), including 3.5 sacks, across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025. He also had three passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Brooks led the league in terms of total tackles in 2025 but fell one short of the career-high mark he notched back in 2021, while a member of the Seahawks. The 28-year-old linebacker, who is now heading into the final season of his contract with the Dolphins, has solidified himself as a premier run defender and high-end fantasy asset in IDP formats.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Good to go vs. New England
Brooks (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Brooks earned the questionable tag for Week 18 after logging a limited practice Friday.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Iffy to play Week 18
Brooks (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Brooks missed the first two practices of Week 18 prep while tending to a hamstring injury he sustained against the Buccaneers in Week 17. The NFL's leading tackler earned the questionable tag after logging a limited session Friday, and his status will be officially known when the Dolphins announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Brooks has yet to miss a game this season, but K.J. Britt and Willie Gay would be poised to start at linebacker if Brooks is unable to play.
